from NTA's sPSV Bulletin 2022 (June 2023) (https://www.nationaltransport.ie/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/SPSV-Bulletin-2022-Final-Web.pdf) (pdf)
Following an SPSV fleet decline of 6% from 2013 to 2017, NTA saw the industry beginning to grow in 2018 with a 4% increase between 2017 and 2019 with the upward trend set to continue. Covid-19 and the severe impact this had on the industry led to a reduction in 2020 and 2021, with an 11.5% decline in fleet numbers. 2022 saw this reverse once more with a 1.8% increase in fleet numbers during that year. Figure 1 illustrates the changes in SPSV licence numbers from 2013 to 2022.

The SPSV fleet increased throughout 2022 at a steady pace, with nearly all months showing an increase on the previous month, as demonstrated in Figure 2.
